There are a number of reasons why you, the seller of a privately held mortgage note which you created when you carried the financing on the sale of your property can not sell this note for the full face value. The main factor however is risk.

Many times the mortgage note holder must get full value or very close to it for the sale of their note, otherwise he / she may actually be taking a loss on the property sale. When they need ninety or more percent in order to realize an overall profit and the note buyer can only offer 73% of face value they may feel as though the potential buyer is trying to rip them off. This could not be farther from the truth.
The potential buyer of the mortgage note has very specific criteria that they will use to valuate your note. The terms and conditions of the note itself, the current market value of the property, and your buyer’s ability to pay are the three main factors which will determine the discounted value that lowers the risk to an acceptable level for purchase.
